Percentage Calculation Formulas

Marks to Percentage

Percentage = (Obtained Marks ÷ Total Marks) × 100

Example: 85 out of 100 = (85 ÷ 100) × 100 = 85%

Percentage Change

Change% = ((New Value - Old Value) ÷ Old Value) × 100

Example: 80 to 90 = ((90 - 80) ÷ 80) × 100 = 12.5% increase

Percentage of Number

Result = (Percentage ÷ 100) × Number

Example: 25% of 200 = (25 ÷ 100) × 200 = 50
